Good:
People Who Are Down To Earth & Push BMX Onwards & Upwards - Regardless If They're Out Spoken & Say What They Wanna Say & Piss People Of Doing So!

Rider Owned Companies, People At Said Companies Who Make The Effort To Make Friends With Riders, Keep Them In The Loop, Treat People With RESPECT!

Riders Who Understand How The Real World Works! Understand How Manufacturing Works, The Time Things Take To Be Made, That There Will Be Cock Ups Along The Way, But If Companies Put In Work To Progress Yearly, They Might Have Been Shitty 10 Years Ago, But They ARE NOT NOW!!!

Bad:
Pig Ignorant Arrogant Douche Bags Who Blindly Follow The Pack, Ride The Same Parts, Will ONLY Ride 1 or 2 Companies Parts Because They Had A Good Reputation 10 Years Ago & Are Coasting On The Fumes Of That Reputation Because They're Now They're Pretty Boring & Offer Pretty Bog Standard Boring Products, Whilst "Shit Companies" ARE Pushing The Limits But They're Shit Because They Put Out A Few Bad Parts When They Started Out 8 To 10 Years Ago!

(Little Bit Hypocritical Here BUT....) People Who Criticize Other People For Doing There Own Thing! They Want To Do Something Different In BMX, It Might Not Fit Everyone's Idea Of What BMX Should Be, But Of Course Because It's Not What YOU Think BMX Should Be Those People Are Automatically Douche Bag C-Words & Are A Bad Thing For BMX. Well Have You Ever Thought YOU Might Be The Bad Person In BMX? Hmmmm!

Hate In General, I'm Fed Up With It! Like MASSIVELY Fed Up With It! When I First Started Riding, There Was None Of This Company A. Is the Best & Every Single Company, ESPECIALLY Company B. Is Utterly Shit In Comparison! People Nowadays Seem To Have Such A Hard On For A Certain Company They're Willing To Insult & Even BULLY People Who Have Different Views To Theirs!

Which Brings Me To!... Bullying, You Might Laugh It Off, Don't Be Silly I'm Not A Bully! BUT! You Slag People Off Call Them Names Tell Them How Shit Their Bike Is, They're Crap At Riding, They Should Give Up Etc! "Go Suck A Bag Of Aids Dicks" Is One I've Had! SERIOUSLY?! WTF Is Wrong With Self Entitled Little Internet Key Board Warriors These Days!!!!???

If I Didn't Have So Many Friends & People I'm Fond Of On This Site & I DO Like Being Part Of The Vital BMX Community! (Unlike Some!) I'd Be Gone Myself! Just Because A Small Group Of Idiots Ruining BMX For Me! I'd Put Down The Laptop, Turn It Off & Never Bother With It Again! There's Just SOOOOO MUCH Arrogance, Selfishness & People TOTALLY Unwilling To Help Others! It's Actually Quite Saddening, Where Did The Community Spirit Go???!!! To The Idiots Saying The Vital Is Bad, Errrmm Why Are You Here?! Is It Because The Other Forums That Are So Super Badass Are Failing Miserably Because No One On Them Is Riding BMX Anymore?! Vital Is the Best Place For People Who Actually RIDE?!?!! Yup I Think So! That's One Of The Things That Pisses Me Off Beyond All Belief! If You Don't Want To Be Part Of The Vital Community LOG OUT & DON'T COME BACK!!!

1. The bikes and parts, they're so good these days compared to when I started riding.
2. The people, the majority of riders I come across are legit people.
3. The Internet, when I started out I had to wait once a year to catch the xgames on TV to see any ride footage.
4. The come up. Adam22 has done good things for bmx, despite some of his personal lifestyle choices which are his business.
5. Vitalbmx forum. Goes without saying really that there are some really fucking decent people & riders on here.

yeah im not gunna beat around the bush with this one. Ohian chill the fuck out yeah? its the internet, people fall out on it no need to keep going on about it. I only meant the dildo thing because you refuse to acknowlage any other companies good parts except odyssey and sunday. And im not 100%, but im pretty sure i never actually said anything about if I like or dislike shadow, i just recomended their new fork over their old one which someone asked about (instead of just going 'odyssey sunday or nothing' type of bs). Also, last time I checked, shadow ARE popular, alot more popular than most companies right now, just people like you refuse to like them because they used to have be fair shit.
Piss of back to you beloved bikeguide, please.

Nice. You can use my username if you want to next time.

I Know That Was A Super Hypocritical Post.

I Wanted To Put Across The Point That The People Who Treat People That Way ARE The Bad Ones Themselves & If Defending A Majority % Makes Me A Bad Person To The Minimal % Then Fuck It! I Don't Really Care, I'm Fed Up Of The Lot Of It. There's Not A Lot Of Point Trying To Reason With An Odyssey Fan Because You Will NEVER Win, Reminds Of The South Park Episode "Because X-Box People Are Just Like That"

Honestly, You're A Decent Person, But You Have Some Misguided Opinions. Everyone Is Entitled To Their Own Opinions But Forcing Them On Others & Then Getting Into A Name Calling Match When You're Proven Maybe Not Wrong, But Proven To Be NOT 100% Right Is Just Pathetic.

I Know A LOT Of People On This Site ARE Good People & Verbally Assaulting Them To FORCE Your Opinions Upon Them! What Forks Should I Get, Shadow Or Animal - Odyssey Thread / ... Well Errrrm Last I Check Odyssey Wasn't Spelled Animal Or Shadow Was It?!

SOME PEOPLE DO NOT SHARE YOUR VIEWS!! THEY DO NOT WANT TO RIDE THE SAME BIKE AS YOU!!! THEY WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT & INDIVIDUAL TO THEM & THEIR RIDING!!!!

There Is Giving Advice & There Is Bullying People Into Thinking The Same Way As You. 2 Totally Different Things & If People Want This Site To Really Do Well As A Community, I Think People Need To Read What They've Type Out Before They Post It.

I DO NOT CARE If This Makes Me A C@*T, Douche Bag, Asshole, Whatever To The Few People I've Aimed This At, I Hope Other People Will Actually See My Reasoning Behind Making This Post! I'm Fed Up Of All The B.S & Also All The Adam22 Hate Is REALLY Annoying Me. How Many Of You Talk To Him Weekly? How Many Of You Know Him Outside Of TCU & OSS His ONLINE PERSONA! Well I DO Talk To Him On A Damn Near Weekly Basis & He Is A TOP BLOKE! People Really Do Need To THINK Before They Type/Open Their Mouths.
